T P Kailasam, the acclaimed playwright was worried and appalled about the once glorious professional theatre companies of Karnataka. He decided to write a play about this and the result was Nam Kampni. This play is a satirical take on the state of theatre companies. Written more than 50 years ago with trademark Kailasam style dialogues, the play sure tickles the funny bone. Nam Kampni, tells a tale about a impoverished theatre company and their struggle on stage and off it. With funny antics of the actors and humorous song dance sequences, the play, is definitely a laughter riot.
